What can you do to build stronger and healthier relationships in the New Year with everyone in your life? Let’s talk about it! In today’s episode, we’re going to discuss a wide range of relationships, starting with friendships, including how you can have an easier time both making and maintaining friends. We’re also going to talk about tips for starting new romantic connections (including how to get better at online dating), tips for strengthening romantic relationships new and old, as well as what you need to know about building a healthier relationship with yourself.

I am joined once again by Dr. Juliana Hauser, a licensed marriage and family therapist and licensed professional counselor who specializes in relationships, sex, and sexuality. In addition to running a private practice, Dr. Juliana is a nationally known expert in this area whose work has appeared all over in the media. This is the second episode in a two-part series on sex and relationship resolutions, so be sure to check out the first part of our conversation if you haven’t already listened yet. Some of the topics we discuss today include:

• What are some new ways of making friends in the coming year?
• How can you maintain strong friendships without causing friction with your romantic partner?
• What can we do to become better online daters this year?
• What kind of communication skills do you need to cultivate in order to help your relationship thrive in the long term?
• For people in long-term relationships, how can they resolve to maintain a healthy level of autonomy and independence?
• What resolutions can men make to better themselves?
